Cohorts Webster defined: co·hortnoun \ˈkō-ˌhȯrt\ a: one of 10 divisions of an ancient Roman legion b: a group of warriors or soldiers c: band, group d : a group of individuals having a statistical factor (as age or class membership) in common in a demographic study <a cohort of premedical students>

  6. Cohorts Cohort Fun Facts: • The National Reporting System (NRS) requires that states report on the follow up measures of entered and retained employment, attainment of a secondary credential and entry into postsecondary education or training for adult education participants. • Beginning in Program Year 2012, the NRS requires states to automatically report the follow up measures for all students who meet certain criteria for each measure. This automatic Cohort designation will vary according to each follow up measure. • Follow Up is no longer determined by selected goals. Goals are for service planning only. • Cohorts are now based on the following: • Participant’s labor and educational status at registration, which should be updated yearly • Participant’s educational status at exit • Participant completes the ALP +the information is entered into MAERS =MAERS determines the designated Cohorts automatically
